[Jessysmith]

My Family and I have just recently started coming to Cross Trails. It is the first Church we have attended in a long while. It is my responsibility to make sure that my wife and children are at least given the opportunity to have a relationship with God, and I have not been the best role model in doing so. My wife has a family Bible study every Sunday with me and the kids. She is truly a stronghold in my life. I have a tendency to slip away from God when times are good and go running back with my tail tucked between my legs when my life starts falling apart all over again. I believe God has called me several times to serve Him in a family church. As to what capacity I am not sure. Because I always run the other direction. Here lately the Lord has been very good to me and my family, and I have not given Him the proper appreciation and respect for what how He has blessed us, and we are currently going through a very difficult time. I believe I have heard this called the "Spirit of Brokenness". I believe that my spirit is broken. I have spent so much time relying on myself and my own abilities and taking credit for all the positive things in my life; instead of relying on God's power and giving Him praise for blessing me and my family. I am tired of pulling myself away from God, and am ready to be drawn closer to Him. But this time I want it to be for good. No more tug-of-war. I want to be the Godly Man my children will see as a positive active part in their spiritual and physical lives. I want to be the Godly Husband my wife so richly deserves. I am giving myself completely over to God the best I know how, and I am begging that you will pray for me and ask that God gives this habitual sinner the strength and will to be whatever He has planned for me. I am tired of watching my family suffer for bad choices that I have made. I am tired of hearing my children tell me it's ok when they are given beans to eat 3 nights in a row. I am tired of failing God and my family at every crossroad. Why I choose the path opposite of what God has planned for me, I do not know, but it's time I want to follow the path He has chosen for me and rely on Him to direct my feet as I continue to draw closer to Him.

If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
